Podcasts about parenting adult children

Setting boundaries in our most cherished relationships can be hard not just because we're often doing something that may be new and requires courage, but because many of us feel so much guilt when our boundary is not received with glowing accolades but rather with pushback and frustration and even anger. And that guilt comes from two places – ourselves and others. Learning to manage our thoughts to create self-respect and courage rather than guilt is an important part of developing healthy relationships with those we love.

I am a father of four young adults, but my other day job is I'm also an entrepreneur. run commercial real estate technology and other businesses.Yeah, the book is actually Hey Dad. Okay. And it's everything you should have learned but didn't as you start your adulting life. It was actually started and the idea came because imagine this middle of the night, you get a call. And for me as an adult and having a parent of four kids, getting a call in the midnight and in middle of the night is always something that's terrifying. And so I get this call, pick up the phone, my heart's panicked.freaking out. What's wrong? And it's Hey, dad, I'm at the gas station. Can I put the green gas in my Jeep? I'm like, what? First of all, have to, I have to, have to decompress quite a bit. Right. And I'm like, what do mean? Great. Right. She was asking if she could put diesel in her her gasoline vehicle. And at that point, I was like, Oh, my gosh, did I not teach my kids anything?And then talking to other adults, they came up with the same thing and they said, yeah, you know what, my kid's doing this. I get calls like this. And then my wife finally said, you know what, you're getting bombarded with these calls. And we talked to other parents. said, you enjoy writing books. Why don't you write a book on all the stuff that they should have learned? And so that's what became the subject matter. And so I spent the last year or so writing the book, but more importantly, it wasn't just me. I actually went out.and sought the expertise of 30 experts in everything from people who run the JP Morgan Chase Bank for family banking, tax experts, clinical psychologists, cleaning experts. interviewed a NASCAR race car driver and his crew chief on how to maintain a car. So everything in between to give young adults the foundation that they need, sort of a guideline and a guidebook.Want to be a guest on ABCs of Parenting Adult Children?

Today's guest is author, speaker, and podcast host Laine Lawson Craft. This episode is a little longer because Laine's personal experience as the mother of three - yes three! - prodigal children and the strategies she's learned along the way are just too helpful and powerful to edit down to the length of most of my episodes. Our children mean so much to us but parenting them isn't for the faint of heart. The terrible twos were indeed terrible. And no one prepared us for the turbulent teen years. Today's interview is about parenting an adult child who is making destructive decisions or who is walking down a dark path or who has turned his/her back on their faith. Parenting a wayward or prodigal child impacts a parent in significantly different ways.Laine poured her experiences with her three prodigal children and the wisdom she gained into her book, The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal Child and her devotional, Warfare Parenting: A Daily Battle Plan to Fight for Your Child. Both are available on Amazon.Laine and I discussed the journey with each of her three children, content from her book, and her desire to have Warfare Parenting Small Groups across the country to support parents of wayward and prodigal children.Notable quotes:* "Hope to me is waiting expectantly on God's turnaround."* "Today's struggle is tomorrow's testimony.”* "Like a relentless rescue team, God is tirelessly working to bring your lost one home. God is in the rescue business, and He's really good at it.”* "I'm going to love you so that you see something different in me that makes you yearn to be more like that.""They were just in a chapter of their story, and God gets all the glory. And now they are messengers of hope to their generation."Bible verses:* John 10:10* Matthew 20:1-16* Isaiah 54:17* 1 John 4:4* Exodus 14:14* John 8:32* Luke 19:10* Laine's fight verse is Ephesians 3:20.Learn more about Laine ather website: lainelawsoncraft.comher Facebook page: facebook.com/momlaine.lawsoncrafther Instagram page: instagram.com/lainelawsoncraftSend me a COMMENT or QUESTION!THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Send us a textthere's a lot of people working in the world of nutrition doing different things. I spoke to a therapist just earlier this week and she said, okay, I understand you're a nutritionist. So where do you focus? Do you focus on like weight loss, know, hormone balance? He's like, no, like I focus on mental health. And she's like, this is all I've studied for the last few years.It just is fascinating to me and it makes sense now that I know what I know that our food and nutrition makes such a radical difference to how our brain functions because it impacts so much of our organ function inside the body, our gut, all of those pieces. Want to be a guest on ABCs of Parenting Adult Children?

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Do you ever worry about losing touch with your kids as they grow up? In this episode of Teenagers Untangled I'm joined by Catherine Hickem, a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and founder of Parenting Adult Children Today to explore the growing issue of family estrangement.Catherine is leading a conversation around one of the most overlooked family dynamics: the relationship between parents and their adult children. Despite how common this phase of life is, few resources exist to help parents navigate the transition from authority figure to trusted ally.  *Research shows that about one in four American adults—27%—report estrangement from a family member. Notably, 26% of adult children have experienced estrangement from a father, compared to only 6% from a mother—and many of these rifts eventually heal.We discuss why adult children might cut ties with parents, and what we can do now—while our kids are tweens or teens—to build a strong, lasting relationship.We cover:The most common reasons adult children become estranged from their parentsThe key mistakes parents make (and how to avoid them)How to adapt your parenting style as your children grow into adulthoodThe impact of parental expectations, grief, and cultural pressures on family bondsPractical strategies for fostering trust, open communication, and unconditional loveReal-life stories of reconciliation and hopeCatherine Hickem brings decades of experience working with thousands of families, offering actionable advice and heartfelt encouragement.CATHERINE HICKEM:https://www.parentingadultchildrentoday.com/https://www.instagram.com/parentingadultchildrentoday/Research sources:A longitudinal U.S. study (Reczek et al.), Cornell's Fault Lines project, and the YouGov poll conducted in 2022. OtoZen — a new driving safety appAre you worried about your teenager getting distracted behind the wheel?

So many of us feel blindsided when it comes to the relationships with our adult children. We heard a lot about the struggles of being a parent to babies, toddlers, tots, pre-teens, and teenagers, but not a lot about our role and relationship with adult children. The reason it can be so challenging is because so many of us struggle to let go of our parenting role and we can often feel that their decisions (which we can often judge as poor) reflect badly on our parenting. In this podcast I'm speaking with Coach Brooke Oniki about how we can show up better in the relationships with our adult children. You can find Brooke at www.brookeoniki.com Here's her Women's Conference talk: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/byu-womens-conference-may-2025-keeping-a-strong/id1819510541?i=1000712108423 Brooke's podcast: Midlife with Brooke Thanks for listening!

If your children are grown—or even moving back home—and you've just now found language for what it means to live loved instead of afraid… this episode is for you. Today, we're responding to questions from listeners who've read the manifesto, heard the message at Network 220, watched this YouTube conversation with Janet and Robby Angle, or started exploring Practicing the Art of Being Family. They're asking: “Do these truths still apply if my kids are already out of the house?” And, "Is there still great hope if my children are already grown?" The answer is yes. Because you're still a parent—but you're first a child of God. And healing begins the moment you stop striving to fix the story, and start living from what's already true. We explore: Why your peace is more important than your perfection How formation still happens—no matter how old your kids are The difference between carrying your child's burden and becoming their safe place What it looks like to lead your family without fear—even in a season of disappointment, distance, or regret This episode will meet you where you are—and help you begin again, without starting over. Takeaways: Your family's story isn't finished. The Gospel doesn't expire with age. Restoration is still possible—because transformation begins in you, not your circumstances. You can't give what you haven't received. When you abide in your identity as a beloved child of God, you stop asking your children to meet needs only the Father can fill. Peace is your starting point. True leadership isn't about control or correction—it's about being the safest, most truthful presence in the room.

Mark sits down with colleague and professor, Dr. Rick Miller to discuss the dynamics of parenting adult children. Navigating the changes in parenting once our children become adults can be tricky, Dr. Ogletree and Dr. Miller give amazing tips and insights on how we can keep our connections strong, with out overstepping.

Parenting adults creates differing dynamics within a house when there are three, four, or more adults, as opposed to one or two parents with their children. 

In this episode of Life after Kids, Dr. Brooke and Dr. Lynne delve into the complex topic of transitioning parenting styles as children move into adulthood. The doctors discuss the common challenges parents face, including knowing when to offer advice and when to step back and allow their children to navigate their own lives. With humor and candor, they explore the nuances of shifting from a more authoritative role to becoming a supportive advisor. As Dr. Lynne shares, “It's almost like passing the torch of responsibility.” The episode emphasizes the importance of communication between parents and adult children, highlighting effective strategies for maintaining a healthy and supportive relationship. The hosts address the delicate balance of being there for children without overstepping boundaries, with Dr. Brooke noting, “Sometimes you just need to listen and not swoop in with the advice.” Their personal anecdotes and professional insights provide a comprehensive look at the evolution of parenting beyond the formative years. Key Takeaways: Transitioning from an authoritative parenting style to an advisory role can enhance your relationship with adult children. Open communication is essential; asking whether your child wants advice or just a listening ear can improve interpersonal dynamics within the family. Parents must recognize their adult children's autonomy, resisting the urge to control their life choices. Embracing your own life and interests outside of being a parent can enrich personal fulfillment and reduce undue stress on family relationships. Recognizing and respecting your adult child's autonomy fosters trust and understanding, making it easier to provide support and guidance when needed.
